After complaining, the seller reasoning was:

Well sir, lots of car hubs are rusted so we have to manufacture them a tad larger so they can be installed.

I had to pinch myself thinking I was sleeping/dreaming about this. Not to mention the lug bolts they offer are simply killing units. Those will crack any wheel, if not during installation! When I mention he simply hang-up the phone on me.

We have many Porsche R14 bolts here at the circuit so I had these already. Just needed his spacers. What a saga I tell ya!

Just didn't want to do/turn myself a set of spacer (lazy). get the H&R mate, flawless and cheap cheap
